The Thing About Arsenal

Ugh! Lyon 3-1 Arsenal. Laura and Rory are here to react to a frustrating afternoon in Lyon. Rory explains why Wendie Renard gave him the ick, and we rue Arsenal’s missed chance to show everyone how good we can be.

Elsewhere, we are further icked out by the thought of Beth Mead and Katie McCabe going to Man City. Plus, we explain why Arsenal need to take the title race to the last day of the season.

Were we wrong to think that Arsenal weren't capable of a free-flowing performance anymore? Apparently so. Luke and Jim are here to further discuss our 3-0 win over Fulham at the weekend, Viktor Gyökeres' recent form and Myles Lewis-Skelly, who might have just saved us 80m quid in the summer.

Elsewhere, we start to get excited to play Atlético Madrid tomorrow night. Rumour has it there could be a very large tifo for us to enjoy.

That's more like it! Jim and Rory gather after a very enjoyable - and strangely nostalgic - afternoon in N5. We once again take a moment to appreciate how important a fully fit Bukayo Saka is to this team.

Elsewhere, Rory gives plenty of credit to Mikel Arteta for starting Myles Lewis Skelly in midfield and Jim hopes this result will give us a big old confidence boost going into the final few games of the season. Plus, we share some enjoyable celebrity sightings at the Emirates.

It’s Jim and Rory on the show, and they kick things off with their "Atlético Reflections” following an important week in the Champions League. Did Ben White know he was stepping on the Atlético badge? Does he even know what the badge looks like? Does the fact he didn’t step on the bear make a difference? We get into the nitty gritty of it all.

Elsewhere, we look ahead to Fulham at the weekend and once again bravely (naively) hope that this is the week our attack will click back into gear.

After last night's nonsense in the Champions League, it was time for some proper European football and some trademark Arsenal control. And we got it! For the first 45 minutes, at least...

Luke and Jonny react to a very valuable 1-1 draw away at Atlético Madrid, which – despite all the toilet roll everywhere – featured some really positive performances, not least Declan Rice and Viktor Gyökeres. The penalty decisions ain't even got us mad! But we still reserve some ire for Diego Simeone, don't you worry about that.
